'fused at a Restaurant.
Mr. Rice of Chicago, who has been
railroading for the past twenty four
years, reports, that while in Wheeling,
W. Va., last Monday he met with
first refusal in a restauiant. It was a
greater insult from the fact that the
restaurant is owned by two colored
men Yates and Williams at No.
1402 Market street. Mr. Rice went in
and sat down at a table, but was roughly
informed that Colored people iwere not
served in the "white folks" dining room
and that if he wished anything to eat he
would have to go up stairs to a room set
apart for Colored people. This he re
fused to do and leaving the place, he
went to a first class restaurant owned
by a white man and was served without
question. Such Colored business men,
who discriminate against their people
are a disgrace to their race.
Moving Day.
Now is the soulful time when the hap

that "The melancholy days have come,
the saddest of the year." But in mov
ing from one place to another, you will
always escape discomiort by taking the
Saint Paul "& Duluth Railroad, which is
the best and shortest route to and from
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Su
perior and other points, making close

Thursday of last week was the sixth
anniversary of the wedding day of Mr.
and Mrs. F. D. Parker. In commemora
tion of the memorable event Mr. Parker
went around and quietly invited a
goodly number of the good citizens of
the Saintly city, to help him surprise his
wife on that evening. The good citziens
responded and the result was a genuine
and enjoyable surprise to Mrs. Parker
and a delightful time for the large crowd
which was present. Refreshments in
abundance were served and at a late
hour the guests reluctantly retired.
The charity entertainment which was
given at the new lodge hall of Stevens
Lodge on Jackson street was the most
enjoyable occasion of the week. There
was a very large crowd present and the
"crazy" costumes whien a number of
the ladies wore elicited much merriment.
This is the first entertainment which
bus been given in the hall and the pub
lic was pleased with the spacious room
and its elegant appointments. The
drilling of the "Cadets" was an interest
ing feature. In every way the enter
tainment was a success and the ladies
who had charge of it have good, reason
to be.proud of their success.^^%\ fej

Carved His Mistress.
Cincinnati, April 29.A partnership,
based on mutual affection has existed
between Henry Jones and Fannie Jack
son, two Colored lovers for some time,
and they have sustained marital rela
tions without going through the formal
ity of a marriage, their bower of love
being at No. 98 East Sixth street. Re
cently Fannie resolved on a dissolution
of partnership and and intimated to
Henry that his mortgage on her feelings
had been foreclosed, delicately suggest
ing that he retire from the said bower:
But Henry refused to take the hint and
as a consequence several quarrels have
taken place. Yesterday morning came
the culmination, the result being that
Fannie went to the bed with a painful
wound in the cheek. After a quarrel
Jones drew a knife and with one slash
laid open the side of her face from the
ear to the point of the chin, inflicting a
most horrible wound. After the cutting
the coward turned and fled, leaving his.
victim bleeding on the floor. Dr. Dun
lap was hastily summoned, and after
some hard work succeeded in closing:
the gash, taking no less than fifteen
stitches in the lips of the wound. Her
condition he pronounced as most serious.
The police were notified, and are now
searching for the cowardly knife-user,
who it is thought has*fled the city.
Noted Sport Cut.
Cincinnati, April 29.Ball Thomas,
the well known colored sporting man,
was cut last night in front of his "joint,."
on the north-east corner of George and
Plum streets.
One of the cuts was in the shape of &
nearly complete circle around his head,
and looked as if somebody had tried to
scalp him. It extended to the bone and
was exceedinglv paintul. There was
also a serious stab in the abdomen near
the navel.
A.bout eleven o'clock last night Arthur
James, a Colored employe in the City
Engineer's office, went into Thomas' re
sort to try his luck at a "crap game" in
progresss over the saloon. As James
was leaving he probably said something
that indicated he intended to "tip off"
the game to the police. Anyhow, that
idea entered the mind of the proprietor,
who kicked him out on. the sidewalk.
A scuffle ensued and James was thrown
down, Thomas' father ran up and kicked
him in the mouth. Ball, who bad
jumped into the saloon, returned* and
dealt James a blow on the forehead
with a beer glaes, whL raised a knot
as large as a man's fist. Somehow dar
ing the fight Thomas received the two
cuts, which James, nowever, denies
having inflicted. Thomas was taken to
bis home, at Georgeand Central avenue,
where he was attended by Dr. William
Knight, who pronounced his wound*
dangerous. *,i*Jt** 1
